Colugos (/kəˈluːɡoʊz/) are arboreal gliding mammals found in Southeast Asia. Just two extant species make up the entire family Cynocephalidae (/ˌsaɪnoʊˌsɛfəˈlaɪdiː, -ˌkɛ-/) and order Dermoptera. They are the most capable gliders of all gliding mammals, using flaps of extra skin between their legs to glide from higher to lower locations. They are also known as cobegos or flying lemurs, though they are not true lemurs.
Colugos are fairly large for a tree-dwelling mammal: at about 35 to 40 cm (14 to 16 in) in length and 1 to 2 kg (2.2 to 4.4 lb) in weight, they are comparable to a medium-sized possum or a very large squirrel. They have moderately long, slender limbs of equal length front and rear, a medium-length tail, and a relatively light build. The head is small, with large, front-focused eyes for excellent binocular vision, and small, rounded ears. When born, a colugo weighs only about 35 g (1.2 oz) and does not reach adult size for 2–3 yr.
Their most distinctive feature is the membrane of skin that extends between their limbs and gives them the ability to glide long distances between trees. Of all the gliding mammals, the colugos have the most extensive adaptation to flight. Their gliding membrane, or patagium, is as large as is geometrically possible: it runs from the shoulder blades to the fore paw, from the tip of the rear-most finger to the tip of the toes, and from the hind legs to the tip of the tail; unlike in other known gliding mammals, even the spaces between the fingers and toes are webbed to increase the total surface area, as in the wings of bats. As a result, colugos were traditionally considered being close to the ancestors of bats, but are now seen by some as the closest living relatives to primates.

The Sunda flying lemur (Galeopterus variegatus), also known as the Malayan flying lemur, Sunda Colugo or Malayan colugo, is a species of colugo. Until recently, it was thought to be one of only two species of flying lemur, the other being the Philippine flying lemur which is found only in the Philippines. The Sunda flying lemur is found throughout Southeast Asia in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore.
The Sunda flying lemur is not a lemur and does not fly. Instead, it glides as it leaps among trees. It is strictly arboreal, is active at night, and feeds on soft plant parts such as young leaves, shoots, flowers, and fruits. After a 60-day gestation period, a single offspring is carried on the mother's abdomen held by a large skin membrane. It is a forest-dependent species.
The head-body length of Sunda flying lemur is about 33 to 42 cm (13 to 17 in). Its tail length measures 18 to 27 cm (7.1 to 10.6 in), and its weight is 0.9 to 1.3 kg (2.0 to 2.9 lb).
The Sunda flying lemur is protected by national legislation. In addition to deforestation and loss of habitat, local subsistence hunting poses a serious threat to this animal. Competition with the plantain squirrel (Callosciurus notatus) represents another challenge for this species. More information is needed on population declines, but at present, the rate of the decline is not believed to merit listing in any category lower than Least Concern.

2-minute ritual of licking clean her baby and her skin membrane
Back in October, the ACRES wildlife rescue team received a call about a Malayan colugo who had crashed into a condominium apartment. The colugo was a young adult who was in a bit of a daze and was stressed. Luckily, the ACRES wildlife rescue team was on hand to ensure his safety and release back into the wild as soon as possible.

Kubongs, also known as colugos, are by far the most skillful and powerful of the forest gliders. With a single leap, they can travel over 100 meters. Here's one in action. From: DAVID ATTENBOROUGH'S CONQUEST OF THE SKIES: Rivals http://bit.ly/1YjydHc
Sunda Colugo (or Malayan colugo, or Malayan Flying Lemur) at MacRitchie Reservoir, Singapore
Spot a Malayan Colugo Or Fly Lemur today at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
Os animais mais estranhos do mundo ! Os colugos são razoavelmente grandes para um mamífero arborícola: em aproximadamente 35 a 40 cm de comprimento e 1 ou 2 quilogramas de peso, são comparáveis a um de tamanho médio gambá ou a um esquilo muito grande. Os colugos Têm os membros moderadamente longos, delgados, de comprimento dianteiros e traseiros iguais , uma cauda de comprimento médio, e uma configuração corporal relativamente esguia. A cabeça é pequena, com os olhos grandes, focalizados frontalmente para a visão binocular excelente, e orelhas pequenas, arredondadas. Quando nasce, o colugo pesa somente aproximadamente 35g e não alcança o tamanho de adulto por 2-3 anos ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tags relacionadas...
